when i saw buddha he spoke to me in song - i have no trouble dreaming it's living that's a bitch - it's near impossible retaining a clean soul - t.v. screen addiction while little children starve - well you can count me out 'cos you got it wrong - my will is weak but my aim is strong - i sure don't like the reality - born of a monster from the ministry - so i said - break free children run - it's sure not cool and it's sure not fun - break free - go get a gun - before we put a warhead into your sun - into the sun - into the sun... before the emptiness filled up so many lives - we had an icon with no need to wear a gun - red skin - mother earth - respect to your soil - before us savages had learnt to beat a drum - yeah, count your money - everybody wants it all - just napalm in your neighbourhood - it's a pretty thing to see? - no i don't like this reality where both militant and mad say: "...succumb to me!" - so i said - break free children run - it sure looks cool and it sure looks fun - break free - go get a gun - let's see you put a warhead into our sun - well you can count me out 'cos you've got it wrong - my will is weak but my aim is strong - and when i spoke to buddha i did hear his song- i heard those words of poetry and wisdom - and i did see the light, i saw the way to go - well i don't know the words but i can hum along... - break free children run - it sure looks cool and it sure looks fun - break free - go get a gun - let's see you put our warheads into the sun - into the sun - into the sun - into the sun - into the sun...scorchio.
